At Flowers Alperton, we are dedicated to upholding the highest standards of ethical conduct in every aspect of our business operations. As a trusted florist serving households and businesses throughout Alperton, we recognise our responsibility to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking from occurring within our own activities, as well as within our supply chains. This statement outlines the measures we have implemented to fulfil our commitment, guided by our values and the expectations of our local community.
Flowers Alperton adopts a strict zero tolerance approach to all forms of modern slavery, including slavery, servitude, forced labour, and human trafficking. We are committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business dealings and relationships, and to implementing and enforcing effective systems and controls to ensure that modern slavery does not occur within our company or supply chains.
We recognise that the risk of modern slavery may exist at various levels within the floral supply chain. To address this, we conduct thorough due diligence when onboarding new suppliers and review existing partnerships on a regular basis. This process includes:
Any supplier found to be involved in modern slavery, or unwilling to take corrective action, will have their relationship with Flowers Alperton terminated.
Education and awareness are crucial to the prevention of modern slavery. All Flowers Alperton staff receive training on how to identify the signs of modern slavery, the risks present within the floral industry, and the procedures to follow if they suspect unethical practices. This training is part of our induction process and is refreshed annually to reflect the latest guidance and best practice.
We encourage all employees, suppliers, and customers to report any concerns relating to modern slavery without fear of reprisal. Multiple confidential reporting channels are available to ensure concerns can be raised safely and securely. Every report is treated seriously and investigated thoroughly in accordance with our company policies and legal obligations. Should a case of modern slavery be identified, immediate steps will be taken to support those affected and remediate the situation in line with relevant laws.
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed and updated annually to ensure its continued effectiveness and relevance. We monitor changes in legislation, best practices, and feedback from staff, customers, and suppliers to strengthen our approach year-on-year. The findings from our annual review inform actions and improvements across our business.
At Flowers Alperton, our commitment to preventing modern slavery reflects our position as a responsible and trustworthy florist, deeply rooted in the local Alperton community. We believe that ethical business practices are non-negotiable in earning and maintaining the trust of the households and businesses we serve. Through these actions, we strive to make a meaningful contribution towards eliminating modern slavery from our industry.
